CBC News: The National put Pete Hegseth at the top of its November 10 edition. The full 45-minute broadcast has drawn about 1.25 million views in its first 20 hours. A regular upload on this channel usually gets fewer than 90,000 on its first day.
Katie Nicholson's lead report covers a procedural vote in the U.S. House that blocked the impeachment resolution before it could go anywhere. Hegseth's response is blunt: "It's a farce, and it's a stunt. And everybody knows it." The program follows the midterm fallout a step further, with Republicans choosing Jim Jordan as their incoming House minority leader.
The Canadian half is just as heavy. British Columbia has destroyed four grizzly bears that police link to the deaths of a mother and her daughter. Mark Carney calls the Stellantis sale of its Brampton plant, which we reported here, "a betrayal of the workers."
The back half of the edition aired on the eve of Remembrance Day, and it slows right down. A care package meant for a Second World War soldier turned up under an attic floor in England and was returned to his son in Alberta. Bruce Hutton tells CBC: "And when I told my boy about it, I started crying." This year's Silver Cross Mother, Virginia Hicks, talks about losing her daughter, Sapper Mariebeth Short, in a training accident. When other families join that circle, she says, "it's not a club we want to belong to." Ashley Burke then tells the story of Rod Anderson. Anderson was born in the U.K. and learned through DNA testing that his father was a Canadian soldier.
The edition closes on something lighter. In "The Moment," CBC copy editor Jon Azpiri recounts Josh Johnson pulling him onstage during a stand-up bit about a store-cat story that Azpiri had edited himself.
